The additional money for tax incentives will likely keep many TV
shows and new films in production in New York, but with no cap on
how much each project can write off, it's likely that money will
run out in a year. Last year, the state burned through $460
million in 10 months even though that money was supposed to last
through 2013.

Because the tax-credit fund was depleted and there was a chance
no new money would be added to the program, none of this year's
pilots filmed in New York and the Fox show Fringe decided to film
its next season in Vancouver. It's possible, given the meager
funds added to the tax-credit program, that New York could find
itself in the same position next spring.
